Appendix D. Key Codes
Table D-1 shows the key codes used to define the key strokes or hotkeys for several functions. Please
note that these key codes do not necessarily represent the key characters that are used on international
keyboards. A key on a standard 104 key PC keyboard with a US English language mapping is named.
The layout for this keyboard is shown in
Figure D-1. However, most modifier keys and other
alphanumeric keys used for hotkey purposes in application programs are on a similar position, no matter
what language mapping you are using. Some of the keys also have aliases. This means that a key can be
named by two different key codes.
